I just started trying to setup two screen using the official dock and the experience has been pretty awful. In desktop mode, I got two freezes while trying to have the displays recognized. Booting with both screens plugged in resulted in no detection. Then after replugging a screen (display port) I only got 640x480 resolution. Second replug I got the 1080p but plugging the second screen either results in a crash, or just now it’s not frozen but I only have a black background and the mouse cursor.

Is there some setting to change to improve the situation? Ideally I’d like it to be automatic when I plug the Deck on the dock, especially with valve official dock which costs quite a bit compared to other options.

I’m curious about other people’s experience with this

    I’ve had a few glitches but your experience sounds a lot worse. Maybe a bad unit? I’d try HDMI as well just to rule out displayport being an issue

      I wasn’t clear in my post, but I have a monitor plugged via HDMI too, and that’s the one having trouble either turning on, or being stuck in 480p. I will try with a different monitor or cable.

      With only the displayport monitor it works well

      I think it’s related to the monitor I was plugging on HDMI. With a different screen it works better.
      But I still have sometimes the displayport screen not turn on after sleep, and the deck crashing when unplug/replugging it :(
